FAQ

What is Propidium Iodide used for?

Propidium iodide is primarily used as a nuclear or chromosome counterstain. It is instrumental in visualizing dead cells, helping researchers differentiate them from live cells during microscopy.

How do I use Propidium Iodide in my experiments?

To use Propidium iodide, simply add it to your sample after fixation. The stain will penetrate dead cells while remaining excluded from live ones, allowing you to assess cell viability effectively.

Is Propidium Iodide compatible with other fluorescent dyes?

Yes, Propidium iodide can be used in conjunction with various fluorescent dyes, such as Dihydroethidium. This allows for multi-parameter analysis in your experiments. Check out our Dihydroethidium for additional options.
